I think a lot of people get in here and have this idea that when you get sober, you shouldn't tell people like they've taken this idea of anonymity and put it back on the fact that you shouldn't come out, or you shouldn't? Yeah, hiding everything right, and you just don't want that to be part of it anymore.
Ever wondered what it's like to step out of the shadows and share your recovery story with the world? In this episode of 'Since Right Now', hosts Jeff, Matt, and Chris sit down with Magz Shores, the creator of Sober Courage, for a candid conversation about breaking anonymity in addiction recovery.
Magz opens up about the rollercoaster of emotions she faced when she decided to go public with her sobriety journey, including the mixed reactions from family members and the ever-present temptation to relapse. Magz doesn't shy away from discussing the tough moments, but she also highlights the transformative power of clarity and the importance of talking openly about addiction, especially with children.
She shares her personal experiences with rehab and aftercare, emphasizing the crucial role of community support in maintaining sobriety. The discussion takes a deep dive into how grief can exacerbate addiction struggles and touches on the controversial topic of irresponsible alcohol marketing. Throughout the episode, Magz's message is clear: sobriety is a one-day-at-a-time journey that thrives on honesty and support.
Her story is a testament to the strength it takes to break free from the stigma of anonymity and embrace a life of sober courage. Whether you're in recovery, supporting someone who is, or just curious about the journey, this episode offers a raw and heartfelt look at the challenges and triumphs of living sober. Tune in for an inspiring conversation that balances serious discussions with moments of lighthearted banter, making it a must-listen for anyone touched by addiction.
